Ground you see from the cave

This lava cave is appointed to a natural monument, it is a cave-type cave of approximately 200m in total length. Until the early days of the Showa era this place was used as a natural refrigerator, which annual average temperature is approximately 3 degrees Celsius, being used for the storages of the egg of the silkworm until the early days of the Showa era. For a cave type, inside this cave is easier to walk around than Narusawa Ice Cave whch is next to this place.
